Xiao Rèn looked up at Lou Si with complicated eyes. Perhaps he himself did not understand why he thought of Lou Si at this time and why he really hurt himself.
Seeing him staring at her intently, Lou Si smiled and walked forward, slapping him hard across the face with her hand.
Xiao Rèn had no defense, and his head was hit so hard that it swung to one side, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood. This showed how much force Lou Si used.
Mrs. Xiao also reacted at this moment, hurriedly walked forward and said with a serious face: "I don't know what wrong I did to Princess Dian in my Xiao family, making you so angry and causing harm to them. "
Lou Si massaged her wrist and turned her head to look at Mrs. Xiao, still smiling on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Mother, really don't you know where the Xiao family has offended Your Highness?"
Mrs. Xiao knew what she was referring to, meeting her eyes and said: "If Princess Dian was for the first marriage of that year, then I must say that the whole marriage of the Xiao family for Yao'er is ordered by the empress. It has nothing to do with him. If you have any anger, you should not take it out on them as husband and wife."
"Chuckle, Mrs. Xiao is really a master at passing the buck." Lou Si couldn't help but laugh, approaching Mrs. Xiao a few steps closer, her eyes narrowed dangerously: "Even if the first marriage was ordered by the empress, is it not also because the Empress forced him to marry Yao Yao?"
Mrs. Xiao's eyes flickered with discomfort, but her face remained calm: "They are in love, so they got married..."
"Mutual love?" Lou Si as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Mrs. Xiao, are you not getting old and senile, mistaking Your Highness for Lady Liao Yao?"
In fact, she also doesn't understand why Xiao Rhen, who had been her childhood friend and loved by mutual consent, would suddenly fall in love with Lady Liao Yao.
But now these things are not important to her, because no matter what the reason is, she will not let Xiao Rhen and the Xiao family off.
Mrs. Xiao's eyebrows furrowed: "I know, Princess, that you are holding a grudge against Rhen for forsaking you. It is indeed his fault, but emotions are something that no one can control."
As she said that, Mrs. Xiao suddenly knelt down in front of Lou Si and said, "I beg Your Highness, Princess Dian, to show mercy and forgive Rhen and Yao'er."
It was somewhat surprising for her to hear these words from Mrs. Xiao's mouth, and she knew what Mrs. Xiao was calculating.
She laughed and said, "I have no intention of settling accounts for these things now, because for the Xiao family, including Xiao Rhen, they can never repay me in this lifetime."
As she said this, she paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Rhen with a playful smile: "I only want to hold the Mrs. Xiao accountable for her disrespectful behavior and insubordination."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rhen and Mrs. Xiao's faces turned pale instantly. Xiao Rhen gritted his teeth as he looked at her: "It was you who hurt Yao Yao first, and it's only because my mother was so angry that she..."
"Who saw me harming Lady Liao Yao?" Lou Si smiled and cut him off.
Xiao Rhen, upon hearing this, was so angry that the tendons on his neck were bursting: "This is daring to do and not daring to take responsibility."
Lou Si played with the Buddhist beads on her wrist, her face contorted in sarcasm as she looked at him: "If you saw me hurt her with your own eyes, why didn't you do anything either? Or are you waiting for the Empress to make a decision for you?"
Xiao Rhen and Mrs. Xiao did not say anything. As they waited for Lady Si to be called into the palace by Empress Wei, they all thought that Empress Wei would take care of Lady Liao Yao and make Lady Si pay a price.
However, to their surprise, Lady Si returned unharmed and became even more relentless.
"It seems I guessed correctly, but you are doomed to be disappointed." Lou Si's lips carried a hint of sarcasm, "The Empress was so overjoyed upon seeing me that she fainted. She may not wake up for some time."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rhen and Mrs. Xiao's faces became even more unsightly. They were well aware of Empress Wei's condition, and now that she suddenly fainted, they believed it was definitely related to Lady Si.
They were truly surprised that Lady Si dared to attack Empress Wei in the palace, let alone harm her.
Lou Si no longer looked at their ugly faces. She walked over to Lǚ Shì, who was unconscious from the pain, and with a lift of her foot, stepped down hard on her broken limb, crushing it mercilessly.
"Aah! Aah!" Lǚ Shì, who was unconscious from the pain, was suddenly awakened by the intense pain, screaming out in agony.
"Mother!" Xiao Rhen wanted to step forward, but Lou Si raised her hand and made a gesture. Chu Ai blocked him coldly and looked at him with contempt.
Both of them had comparable martial arts skills, and now with Xiao Rhen severely wounded, there was no way he could get the better of Chu Ai.
Xiao Rhen wiped away the bloodstains on his lips and tried to calm himself down. In a hoarse voice, he said, "The one who let you down was me, and it has nothing to do with my mother and the rest of them. What do you want in order to let them go?"
"Let them go?" Lou Si looked down at Lǚ Shì, who was unconscious again from the pain, and then looked at Xiao Rhen with an exceptionally gentle smile.
"I'm not sure. Maybe if you kneel down and beg me, just like last time, I might soften up again."
Xiao Rhen's hand hanging by his side tightly clenched into a fist. She was asking him to humiliate himself in front of all the people he cared about.
His guess was correct. Lou Si was determined to humiliate him in front of the people he cared about most, and crush his heart.
"How, is General Xiao unwilling?" She said, and with that, she lifted her foot again, which had been withdrawn.
Before she could finish her sentence, a loud "thump" was heard, and Xiao Rhen knelt down: "Let her go, I kneel."
Due to his large motion of kneeling, the wound oozed blood out in a large amount. However, he knelt straight as if he felt no pain.
Lou Si couldn't bear to see someone kneeling like this. Why could their backs be so straight while hers had to be trampled upon by others.
Especially when she saw the cold and hateful expression on Xiao Rhen's face, Lou Si couldn't resist but kick him to the ground with one foot.
Before he could react, she kicked him several times in the back waist.
Xiao Rhen was already barely holding on by a thread, and with her kick, he fainted immediately.
At this moment, Lou Si also calmed down. Simply letting him die was too cheap.
She then ordered Wanxiang to send someone to invite the best imperial physician to treat Xiao Rhen.
After doing all this, her gaze returned to the unconscious Lǚ Shì.
Before she could finish her sentence, Lanxiang quickly walked in from outside and whispered a few words to Chu Ai.
Chu Ai hesitated for a moment after hearing this and looked at Lou Si.
Lou Si furrowed her brows and asked, "What is it?"
Chu Ai didn't want her to know, but she still walked over to her side and whispered a few words to her in a low voice.
"Want to die? It's not that simple." Lou Si's face was cold as she took out the long sword from Xiao Rhen's body and walked out quickly.
Chu Ai and Lanxiang hurried after her.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Xiao immediately sent someone to summon a doctor and had people prepare a carriage. She was going to personally go to the Grand Secretariat to accuse Lou Si.
Although the Xiao family had no way to deal with Lou Si, that Pi scholar could definitely help.
After all, he was someone who didn't even hold the emperor in high regard.
She didn't believe that no one could handle Lou Si.
